8 News AIRF RCE December 14, 2017 A display of character MORE than 45 years of formation aerobatics displays by the Air Force Roulettes has been recognised an international organisation. The Honourable Company of Air Pilots has bestowed its 2017 Grand Master’s Australian Medal on the Roulettes. The award was presented at a ceremony at RAAF Base East Sale on November 21. The Grand Master’s medal is awarded to an individual, group or organisation involved in any branch of aviation in the Australian region that has made a meritorious contribution to aviation. The company’s Master, CAPT Chris Spurrier, presented the award to the Roulette team in front of several former Roulette members. CAPT Spurrier said the award recognised the efforts of all Roulette pilots and staff since the team formed in 1970. Current Roulette leader, SQNLDR Jay Tuffley, accepted the award on behalf of the Roulettes team. He said the medal highlighted the achievements of almost five decades. “The award serves as recognition of the high level of personal dedication and airmanship displayed by all members of the Roulettes, both past and present,” SQNLDR Tuffley said. The low-level formation aerobatics performed by the Roulettes requires a high degree of technical skill and teamwork. The Roulettes maintain this high degree of expertise while also performing their duties as instructors at the Central Flying School. Each Roulettes team passes on its high standards to the next one and continues to develop – the current team is now preparing to transition to the new PC-21 aircraft. The team continues to showcase Air Force values to the public, both through their highly-skilled flying and their ground interaction at regular events. The Honourable Company of Air Pilots, based in London, England, draws its lineage from the Guild of Air Pilots and Navigators formed in 1929 to foster and improve the professional status of aviation worldwide.
